Vol 1177 Dec 30, 2012 - HAPPY NEW YEAR! - Strange New Year's Resolutions for Pets

Twice weekly E-letter - StrangeCosmos.com -



Happy New Year!

A Few New Years Eve Toasts for your pals!

--------------

The Lord gives our relatives,
Thank God we can choose our friends.

--------------

Here's to a long life and a merry one
A quick death and an easy one
A pretty girl and an honest one
A cold beer and another one!

--------------

May you never lie, cheat, or drink.
But if you must lie, lie in each other's arms.
If you must cheat, cheat death.
And if you must drink, drink with all of us
because we love you.

------------

May we live to learn well, and learn to live well.
May you live as long as you want,
and never want as long as you live.

Strange "Father Time" Quotes:

Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils. - Hector Berlioz

Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time. - Margaret Bonnano

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire. - Jorge Louis Borges

Men talk of killing time, while time quietly kills them. - Dion Boucicault

Oh Time! the beautifier of the dead, adorer of the ruin, comforter and only healer when the heart hath bled... Time, the avenger! - Lord Byron

One life - a little gleam of Time between two Eternities. - Thomas Carlyle

Take care of the minutes, for the hours will take care of themselves. - Lord Chesterfield

Vol 1177-A Dec 28, 2012 - Special 2012 E-Letter - The Best Pictures of 2012

Twice weekly E-letter - StrangeCosmos.com - This Week's Feature:

---------------------------------------

2012 Year End Fun !

Some of the Best Pictures and Humor

------------------------

Are you ready to review the Best Humor, Coolest Pix and Political Parody on the Internet?

Get ready to jump into something "Strange!"

http://www.strangecosmos.com/index.html

==================================

Strange "Male Perspectives on Marriage."

I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry.
That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste. David Bissonette

When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her. Sacha Guitry

After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together. Hemant Joshi

By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates

Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them. Dumas

The great question... which I have not been able to answer... is, "What does a woman want? Sigmund Freud

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - 9 Things That Will Disappear In Our Lifetime.......

9 THINGS THAT WILL DISAPPEAR IN OUR LIFETIME:

Whether these changes are good or bad depends in part on how we adapt to them.
These observations are not intended to be grim, or pessimistic . . . they are simply reality. But, ready or not . . . here they come.

1. THE POST OFFICE - Get ready to imagine a world without the post office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.

2. THE CHEQUE - Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with cheque by 2018. It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process cheques. Plastic cards and on-line transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the cheque. This plays right into the death of the post office. If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business.

3. THE NEWSPAPER - The younger generation simply doesn't read the newspaper. They certainly don't subscribe to a daily delivered print edition. That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man. As for reading the paper on-line, get ready to pay for it. The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance. They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services.

4. THE BOOK - You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages. I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes. I wanted my hard copy CD. But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music.

The same thing will happen with books. You can browse a bookstore on-line and even read a preview chapter before you buy. And the price is less than half that of a real book. And think of the convenience! Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can't wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you're holding a gadget instead of a book.

5. THE LAND LINE TELEPHONE - Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don't need it anymore. Most people keep it simply because they've always had it. But you are paying double charges for that extra service. All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes

6. MUSIC - This is one of the saddest parts of the change story. The music industry is dying a slow death. Not just because of illegal downloading. It's the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it. Greed and corruption is the problem. The record labels and the radio conglomerates are simply self-destructing.

Over 40% of the music purchased today is "catalogue items," meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with. Older established artists. This is also true on the live concert circuit. To explore this fascinating and disturbing topic further, check out the book, "Appetite for Self-Destruction" by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary, "Before the Music Dies."

7. TELEVISION - Revenues to the networks are down dramatically. Not just because of the economy. People are watching TV and movies streamed from their computers. And they're playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV. Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator.

Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds. I say good riddance to most of it. It's time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery. Let the people choose what they want to watch on-line and through Netflix.

8. THE "THINGS" THAT YOU OWN - Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future. They may simply reside in "the cloud." Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents. Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be.

But all of that is changing.. Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest "CLOUD SERVICES." That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system. So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet. If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet CLOUD.

If you save something, it will be saved to the CLOUD. And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider. In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device. That's the good news.

But, will you actually own any of this "stuff" or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big "Poof?" Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical? It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.

: AMAZON TAT (sponsored link, sort of)
Depressed? Squeeze your anus 100 times a day

One of the more unlikely self-help books that
have come our way. The title is great, the
description mind-blowing.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0595094724/b3ta-21

>> Sponsor B3ta <<
Want this space? Then talk to us.
http://b3ta.com/mailus/

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Apple, Homophobia, Hearing & Wrapping Paper

>> Steve Jobs (Enslaved With Shiny Things) <<
Ginger Fuhrer, Superpowerless & Peepholecircus
are working together again and have produced a
wonderful song about Jobs and his shitty
digital handcuff products. It'll be broadcast
on TV too - in a C4 production called Mashed,
featuring lots of B3tans work - broadcast
Friday 28th December 2012, 11.40pm, Channel 4.
Huzzah.
http://bit.ly/Tc2QPY

>> Homosexual Activity (SPOOF TRAILER) <<
"If the pope made a gay marriage horror movie,
this is what it would look like..." claims a
wildly sweating teaandcheese. Don't fret -
we're *satirising* bigotry and making the world
safe for democracy.
http://bit.ly/Tc2Qj4

>> Billy 2.0 - Go go Gadget Ears <<
"A month since the operation," updates b3tan
helmsdeep, "And two days since my cochlear
implant was switched on. The whole thing felt
weird and made me have a whitey. WARNING:
Contains drug references."
http://wlmager.com/billy-2-0-coming-up-on-an-e/

>> Crapping Paper™
"A stupid thing I crapped out, just in time for
those last minute presents you didn't really
think about," confesses copybeard. "It's the
wrapping paper that ruins the surprise!™"
Ingenious, because this way you can claim all
your gifts are 'tongue in cheek'.
http://crappingpaper.co.uk/

-------------------------------------------------

: BOOK OF THE WEEK
TV Reviews - Victor Lewis-Smith

Your Ginger Fuhrer occasionally works for VLS,
making titles for his C4 documentaries. We
mention this, as VLS has a great book out and
we tried to badger him for an interview but he
doesn't do interviews. Very wise. But you
should read the book, and find out exactly
where characters like Charlie Brooker got their
TV review schtick from.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00ANUSCA2/b3ta-21

-------------------------------------------------

: WTF?
Scaryduck has done a book!

"If you've nothing else better for the
newsletter," interjects Scaryduck, "I've
finally finished the book that took me five
years, a divorce and two nervous breakdowns to
write. It's a comedy thriller about geeks and
nerds and has a b3ta meme or two in it.

"People wouldn't stop asking if there was going
to be a version in Comic Sans (The Font of
Champions), so I did a version in Comic Sans
(The Font of Champions)"

Read some extracts and Scary's blurb:

Buy it right now, as you know you must:

-------------------------------------------------

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Overcoming Adversity

We asked how you'd overcome adversity. You lot
decided to tell stories about putting things up
your arse, and then got owned by a guy with
Crohn's disease who no longer has an arse:
http://b3ta.com/questions/overcomingadversity/

* SHIFTED - "My Grandad lost his left arm fighting
against Franco in the Spanish Civil War. He was
a Welsh miner but, like many others, was willing
to lose his life in the fight against fascism.
He returned to the UK after a long stint in a
PoW camp and, with his buddy who had also lost
an arm, started up a REMOVALS company. Yep - who
needs two arms to shift furniture around?"
(l0bst3r)

* PATCHED - "Well, after being told it would
happen for over 30 years, I've now gone blind
in my left eye. On the downside, I walk into
things a lot and miss when I try to pick up
stuff. I also can't ride my bike anymore. On
the upside, I can now legitimately dress as
a pirate for fancy dress parties. Yarr."
(Smash Monkey)

* STRAINED - "Once managed to ejaculate after
drinking 9 pints of Guinness. Almost severed
a wrist tendon to get there mind."
(Merry Fitmas and an Eppy New Year)

>> This Week - RELIEF <<
Last week, Scaryduck thought he'd run over and
killed something to find he'd squished a bin
bag. What was not as grim as you first thought?
http://b3ta.com/questions/qotwrelief/

-------------------------------------------------

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> Best book jackets <<
Cover gallery, with such treats as Taschen's
reversible 'panic jackets', that make porno
look like philosophy.
http://pinterest.com/pin/2322237279511947/

>> Home Alone burglars - a doctor writes <<
Doctor examines the real-world consequences
of the numerous injuries inflicted on the
hapless bandits by prepubescent Macaulay Culkin
in the Chris Columbus Christmas classic.
http://bit.ly/SYarDM

>> Soup in the movies <<
Every scene, from every film. As long as it
involves or references soup.
http://www.soupsong.com/imovies.html

>> Mysterious, magical basement <<
Exploration of an amazing, WWI-era basement in
Portland, Oregon. The stuff on the wall is
fascinating.
http://cabel.me/2012/12/19/the-basement/

>> 12 letters that didn't make the alphabet <<
Fascinating historical overview of the 27th- to
38th-best letters of the English alphabet.
http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/156077

>> CITV to broadcast classic kids TV <<
For two days in January, you and your kids can
watch the children's shows of your childhood:
Supergran, Duckula, The Tomorrow People, Art
Attack, Raggy Dolls etc. This will teach them a
valuable lesson about nostalgia.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20780372

>> Funniest autocorrects of 2012 <<
You might try to act so jaded, you may promise
yourself not to giggle, but it's all in vain.
Yes, this even wrested a smirk from our
thin-lipped, stoney faces.
http://bit.ly/12yy6eS

>> 100 internet things you should have seen 2012 <<
You need to retain your nerd cred at the point
in the New Year party when everybody starts
showing each other YouTube videos. This is the
definitive list you need. What, at your parties
people start to make out instead? Well, to each
their own, buddy.
http://www.youshouldhaveseenthis2012.com/

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO

>> The most easily scared man in the World? <<
Interview with the star of a number of popular
internet startle videos. Blurs the line between
hilarity and workplace bullying, but he
genuinely seems into it.
http://bit.ly/UN1Uzs

>> Cooking for one <<
Henry's Kitchen talks you through how to
prepare a nutritious and fulfilling meal for
just yourself. To eat, alone in your empty
apartment.
http://bit.ly/ZocHHg

>> Skull-fucking and lesbian scissors <<
Viral-schmiral shows what your possessions get
up to when you're not looking, the dirty
bastards. Santa! Nooo!
http://bit.ly/12tTsLo

>> Christmas in 47 seconds <<
Nicely apt bit of newsreel-based bah humbuggery.
http://bit.ly/WuyHuD

-------------------------------------------------

: FUNNY NAME CORNER
Still junk but we always run it

Anon writes, "I know you despair at the
low-brow humour that is Funny Name Corner, so
maybe this week you could introduce a bit of
culture. Allow me to introduce Baroque
organists and composers, Johann Fux and Samuel
Scheidt. Hopefully this week's Funny Name
Corner will be less fuxing scheidt."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Fux
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Scheidt

-------------------------------------------------

: FRIDAY GAME
A Blocky Christmas

Finally, a flash game where you play a magnet.
At Christmas. Level 12 is hard. But then so is
our penis, or at least it used to be, in the
1990s.

>> New challenge: Bizarre Facts <<
Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act
it is explicitly illegal in Britain to
use a machine gun to kill a hedgehog.
This week's challenge is to find
similarly bizarre facts, and Photoshop
the ass out of them. Challenge suggested
by Jabberwoc
http://www.b3ta.com/challenge/bizarrefacts/

-------------------------------------------------

: B3TA GAZETTE
Births, death & marriages

* RIP PRINTMEISTER - Sad news, as long-time
b3ta legend Printmeister has passed away. A
truly talented, funny guy, who made a lot of
people laugh, here's the tribute page with some
of his greatest hits.
http://b3ta.com/board/10899314

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* MAKEY MAKEY KEYBOARD - flatfrog writes, "A
while ago when I was running a small club at my
kids' school, I came up with an ambitious plan
to make and run a game of Just a Minute, by
taking apart a keyboard and wiring it up to
doorbells, so pressing a bell would be
equivalent to pressing a key on the keyboard.

"It came frustratingly close to working but was
just too fragile - it was all done with bits of
silver foil and crocodile clips attached to the
keyboard's circuit board pins. It sounds like
the Makey Makey kit would have been just what I
needed and we could have used bits of fruit for
buzzers - that would have been awesome."

-------------------------------------------------

: STAR IN NEXT WEEK'S ISSUE

Make something cool and tell us about it. If
you are in it then people will see your stuff.

Things we'd really like to see include:

* GUNS THAT ONLY KILL BAD PEOPLE - maybe they
could measure your soul on the quality of your
Facebook friends?

* DAILY MAIL OR NAZI PROPAGANDA QUIZ - can you
tell from these quotes?

* A BUTTON THAT SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS - from
world peace to marital discord.

Strange Quotes from Famous Women

I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb... and I also know that I'm not blonde. [Dolly Parton]

You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy. [Erica Jong]

I want to have children, but my friends scare me. One of my friends told me she was in labor for 36 hours. I don't even want to do anything that feels good for 36 hours. [Rita Rudner]

My husband and I are either going to buy a dog or have a child. We can't decide to ruin our carpet or ruin our lives. [Rita Rudner]

I've been on so many blind dates, I should get a free dog. [Wendy Liebman]

Never lend your car to anyone to whom you have given birth. [Erma Bombeck]

If high heels were so wonderful, men would still be wearing them. [Sue Grafton]

==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - The Difference Between The North and South CLEARLY Explained!


The North has Bloomingdale's; the South has Dollar General .

The North has coffee houses; the South has Waffle Houses .

The North has dating services; the South has family reunions.

The North has switchblade knives; the South has .44's, .45's, .50 cal's & 'chine guns!

The North has double last names; the South has double first names.
(AND....They marry cousins!)

The North has Indy car races; The South has stock car races .

North has Cream of Wheat; the South has grits.

The North has green salads; the South has collard greens .

The North has lobsters; the South has crawfish .

The North has the rust belt; the South has the Bible Belt .

FOR NORTHERNERS MOVING SOUTH . . .....

In the South : If you run your car into a ditch, DON'T PANIC!
Four men in a four-wheel drive pickup truck with a tow chain will be along shortly.
Don't try to help them, just stay out of their way. THIS....is what they live for!

Don't be surprised to find movie rentals and bait in the same store...
Do not buy food at this store.

Remember, 'Y'all' is singular, 'all y'all' is plural, and 'all y'all's' is plural possessive

Get used to hearing 'You ain't from 'round chere, are ya?'

Save all manner of bacon grease. You will be instructed later on how to use it.

Don't be worried at not understanding what people are saying.

They can't understand you neither. The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective 'big'ol,' truck or 'big'ol' boy.

Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced dialect this way.
All of them are in denial about it.

The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper .

Be advised that 'He needed killin'.."IS" a valid defense here!

If you hear a Southerner exclaim, "Hey, y'all watch this!" you should stay out of the way!

These are most likely to be the last words he'll ever say.

If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the smallest accumulation of snow, your presence is required at the local grocery store for milk & bread! (Likely for milk & bread samiches) It doesn't matter whether you need anything or not.
You just have to go there.

Do not be surprised to find that 10-year olds own their own shotguns, they are proficient marksmen, and their mammas taught them how to aim.

In the South, we have found that the best way to grow a lush green lawn is to pour gravel on it and call it a driveway.

AND REMEMBER: If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept them as Southerners...
After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven......
We ain't gonna call'em biscuits!

Send this to four people that ain't related to you, and I reckon your life will turn into a country music song a'fore you knowed it. Your kin would get a kick out of it too!

: WHAT B3TA PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MAKING THIS WEEK
Aliens, Christmas & Swearing Fruit

>> An Alien Claymation <<
Prediction: either Leehardcastle has extreme
personality disorders which will prevent him
from realising his talent - or someone will
eventually give him a budget and he'll make hit
films. His alien claymation is stunning - the
pace, the humour and the ability to get the
audience gripped by giving them something to
care about. Brilliant - and we look forward to
being guests at his premiere.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/AN_ALIEN_CLAYMATION

>> What Christmas music quiz! <<
"Hey, I made a quiz, it took almost forever to
make, so please try it!", writes RarelyEvil,
"Can YOU guess where the 'Christmases' are
from? If you get enough questions right you'll
win a surprise that can make ANY song into a
Christmas song! (As if anyone would want
that...)" Hehe, fun and nice pay-off.
http://xmas.rarelyevil.com/

>> Swearing Fruit Orchestra <<
Your Ginger Fuhrer writes, "B3tan Matt Round
sent me a Makey Makey this morning - a kit
keyboard that connects up to anything that'll
conduct a current. First thing I tried was to
plug it into some fruit and made it talk to
Buffy's Swearing Keyboard."

: QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Made Me Laugh

Last week we needed cheering up. So we asked
what had made you laugh recently:
http://b3ta.com/questions/mademelaugh/

* CUNTS - "A friend and I were walking up the
very steep ridge to Headingley when a pack of
feral kids (eldest 10 maybe) stepped out in
front of us. 'Give us a quid, mister.' I ignored
them, my friend told them to piss off. From that
moment we had an entourage. 'Cunts!' 'Wankers!'
'Shit Wankers!' 'Shit cunt wankers!' They
followed us a way up the hill, then got bored of
walking and just shouted. Around the corner at
the top of the hill, a smart, respectable
looking bloke in his 40-50s appeared, strolling
towards us as the young scamps below maintained
their one-sided conversation. ('Fucking shit
cunt wanker cunts'... 'Shit puffs') He turned to
us, 'It appears you have a reputation.'" (Larry
Death)

* NOSE - "My grandpa teases his (toddler age)
grand-kids with the whole 'Got your nose!'
thing. The end of the game will always be him
tapping the kid's nose - it's still there! what
a shock! - and going, 'Dink!' My 4-year-old
cousin had apparently had enough of this game,
as she waited for Grandpa to fall asleep, snuck
up on him, punched him full in the nose shouting
'DINNNNK!' at the top of her voice, and legged
it, laughing maniacally." (Sivvus)

* SKULL - "Overheard, walking past the
supermarket Halloween display, mother to child:
'You've got a skull! I'm not buying you another
one!'" (Ambegris)

>> This Week - OVERCOMING ADVERSITY <<
Have you fought back from a terrible illness?
Got out of a job that was going nowhere? Secured
a great victory against the odds through
dishonesty and cheating? Warm our hearts here:
http://b3ta.com/questions/mademelaugh/

-------------------------------------------------

: B3TANS ON TV THIS XMAS
Your Radio Times style guide

* C4 MASHED - Friday 28 December 11.40pm Some
familiar B3tan names in C4 show Mashed. Count
them. Actually there's more than mentioned on
the website: not only Cassetteboy, Dan Bull &
your Ginger Fuhrer but also Monkeon, Happy Toast
and Superpowerless.
http://bit.ly/Z2Wg32

* UNCLE WORMSLEY - Joel Veitch's Christmas story
with Steve Coogan narating is on Sky Atlantic
HD, Christmas Eve at 10pm, Christmas Day at 7pm
& Boxing Day at 3pm.
http://www.unclewormsley.com/index.html

: SITES IN BRIEF
Stuff we like that wasn't made by our mates

>> The animated GIFs of Wikipedia <<
One at a time, random, press space for more.
http://www.wikigifs.org/

>> Google 1960s emulator <<
Lovely, and we recognise the punchcards too -
they must have lurked on into the early 1980s
and been used for grading junior school
examinations - or at least that's what they
remind us of.
http://www.masswerk.at/google60/

>> Making things for the web <<
Not being content creators or having ever
worked for the web there isn't a line in this
we can identify. PS. We'm fibbing.
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/making_things

-------------------------------------------------

: VIDEO SCHMIDEO
Imagine you could watch TV on your Atari Lynx

* MAWKISH 70s POP SONG - Some YouTube comments
are occasionally gold, "Oh look, it's David
Cameron reading out the national budget."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_1nkUbepaU

* BRIGHTON XMAS LIGHTS - we'd like this to be
true but we've seen too many internet virally
things in our time to believe it. Nicely done
though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCgV-FnEcGQ&sns=em

* BEYONCE vs. YAKETY SAX - Boots Randolph's
fine recording improves everything.
http://bit.ly/VF0tSX

* MAD PEOPLE EXISTED IN THE OLD DAYS TOO -
"About five years ago, I was in my backyard
entertaining a friend with my hands." Chap
with, um, idiosyncratic camera presence
demonstrates his potty clapping machine. A very
silly, little video that crams in more
awkwardness than seems reasonable.
http://bit.ly/WbhpT6

-------------------------------------------------

: FUNNY NAME CORNER

* CLINT IS ALWAYS A PROBLEMATIC NAME - btw: his
surname is Eastwood because his wood hangs to
the east.
http://bit.ly/Z5leyU

&#8207; * COCK ARTIST TOLD OFF - this is the story of
our life in one frame.
http://www.b3ta.com/links/B3tan_reacts_to_telling_off

-------------------------------------------------

: PATRICK MOORE OBIT
He doesn't play the xylophone anymore :(

Long-term readers will remember our 'Patrick
Moore Plays the Xylophone' project, but few
knew that Sir Pat once sent us a C90 he
recorded himself. Read on.

: B3TA IMAGE CHALLENGE
Results from the Xmas Card Challenge

Last week we wanted you to celebrate beards

Your favourites included:

* TERRY WOGAN BUMMED BY SNOWMAN - drawn by
Butters and probably Tex would need a bit of
butter to lube that.
http://b3ta.com/board/10893436


* EQUAL OPPORTUNITY SEXY CARDS - from HappyToast
although he did miss out the transgendered and
asexual community. And furries.
http://b3ta.com/board/10894084

* DISTURBING ADVENT CALENDAR - thanks to The
Coast Of Yemen - something to make the kids sob
this Xmas.
http://b3ta.com/board/10893064


All these images, and the highest as voted by
you can be found here:
http://b3ta.com/challenge/xmas/popular/

>> New challenge: Accidents Waiting To Happen <<
It's the opening scene in Casualty. You know - a
man up a ladder chainsawing his hedge with a dog
chained to a rung. A squirrel runs past...
design a disaster waiting to happen. Challenge
suggested by Monkeon.
http://b3ta.com/challenge/accidents/popular/

-------------------------------------------------

: WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
Follow-ups on previous stories.

* SHED OF THE YEAR - &#8207;@unclewilco tweets, "You

title again?"
http://sheds.ws/4kvYAb
